Belgian Producer SKY H1’s Trance Synths Will Take You Sky High

Her Motion EP is out via PAN-affiliated label CODES on July 15.

You may have first heard the slow-burning sound of Brussels-based producer SKY H1 on the Bala Club compilation released in June. While the London-based collective are known for dance music that sets out to cause an earthquake, her contribution to the release stood out as a pool of melted trance synths, stretching out to an infinite, cloudless horizon.

Her debut EP Motion, SKY H1 explained to The FADER over email, came from a dark place, but the result is like a meditative lucid dream. "I needed to find an output for my feelings. Making the record has helped me deal with those emotions that I couldn't express otherwise. It reflects a period in my life I can now close and let go of. Because the songs are that personal to me, I also had a hard time releasing them, but when people first started listening to the tracks and responded in a positive way to it, it sort of lightened things up for me."
